ROBOT BRAIN

SPECIAL INTEREST GROUP

The team with a special interest in developing the social robot’s brain focuses on its cognitive functions rather than the brain’s physiology. The group works on the abilities of the robot to simulate emotions, do moral reasoning, provide creative solutions, and have an understanding of the user’s beliefs and worldview. The software we develop is open source (license to be determined) and can be downloaded from the Robot Brain Server to make your machine behave more human-like:

Silicon Coppélia – Emotion simulation that works from the goals and concerns that the system has, also capable of moral reasoning

ACASIA – Feature-matching system for creative combination making, deriving its features from Deep Learning algorithms

Epistemics of the Virtual – Self-updating database with world knowledge, capable of distinguishing fiction from reality, metaphor recognition, logical verification, and empirical validation

LEIA – Markov-chains based learning system, employing Interaction History Tree Models and working from the Minimum Description Length principle.
